Employees edit

John Myers has worked with many people from the UK radio industry. Among them BBC Radio 1 reporter Steve Blears. Reporter Steve worked with Myers at the DJ's first station launch CFM Radio in Carlisle, Cumbria UK. It's understood they parted company soon afterwards because of a dispute after Blears refused to turn up to a Station Charity event. Steve Blears went on to work for Independent Radio News IRN , the legendary BBC GLR and BBC Radio 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.144.128.212 (talk) 20:52, June 29, 2006 (UTC)

Catch phrases edit

Although not used on air the catch phrase "team" is one regularly used as part of the John Myers management style. The word 'Team' is known to anyone who knows Myers and is regular banter by both him and his 'Team'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.144.128.212 (talk) 21:00, June 29, 2006 (UTC)

The Lead edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

There is currently a disagreement between Trident13 and myself. The discussion was started on Trident's talk page, but I am bringing the discussion here per the recommendations at Wikipedia:Third party. To clarify, I have no connection with the subject of this article. I endorse a Wikipedia:Checkuser, if needed.
Promotional language, from anon users, have been creeping in to this article. Trident and myself have worked to remove that language. Additionally, I have added references to the article, and moulded a lead section so that it complies with WP:LEAD ("concise overview of the article."). Trident13 appears to be misunderstand the concept of the lead section, removing material on the basis that it's already in the article.
I believe that this version is neutral. A couple of claims are not yet supported by the article. I would revise those -- I would do that myself, but am worried at the moment about a reversion war. I'll offer another version if edits are not made in a couple of days time.
Nonetheless, Trident13's preferred version does not make reference to the Government report he compiled ("The Myers Report"), which lead to significant regulatory changes in UK commercial radio, or his review of efficiencies in BBC radio -- both covered by third-party, reliable sources.

Two days on without discussion, so I have offered another version of the lead. [1] This is shorter than the first, and only contains facts supported by third-party reliable sources. If anyone has any problem with this, please discuss it here, rather than communicating in short, dismissive edit summaries. The JPS ^{talk to me} 20:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
